Closed Bug 446155 Opened 17 years ago Closed 15 years ago

Firefox is CONTINUALLY reloading certain web pages, such that (i) it loads the page and then (ii) goes blank and reloads the page from scratch. This does not happen on all pages, and is not simply a page refreshing

Works for me. I don't see any refresh-header or suspicious JavScript either. Does it also occur in Safe Mode <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode> (to rule out interference with an extension) ?
I have just tried it in Safe Mode, and it does not happen. Should I just continue to run in Safe mode ? Thanks Tony
